Lung Nodule Malignancy Classification Integrating Deep and Radiomic Features in a Three-Way Attention-Based Fusion Module

Author(s): Khademi S; Heidarian S; Afshar P; Mohammadi A; Sidiqi A; Nguyen ET; Ganeshan B; Oikonomou A;

In this study, we propose a novel hybrid framework for assessing the invasiveness of an in-house dataset of 114 pathologically proven lung adenocarcinomas presenting as subsolid nodules on Computed Tomography (CT). Nodules were classified into group 1 (G1), which included atypical adenomatous hyp ...

Parents Experiences and Clinicians Perceptions of Managing Cancer Pain in Young Children at Home

Author(s): Jibb LA; Hashemi E; Sivaratnam S; Hildenbrand AK; Nathan PC; Chartrand J; Alberts NM; Masama T; Pease HG; Torres LB; Cortes HG; Zworth M; Kuczynski S; Fortier MA;

Background: Pain is a prevalent and distressing symptom for children with cancer, negatively affecting quality of life and family functioning. While most research focuses on hospital-based care, many pain episodes occur at home, where parents act as primary caregivers with limited access to evide ...

Manganese-Based Spinel Cathodes: A Promising Frontier for Solid-State Lithium-Ion Batteries

Author(s): Dou Y; Zhou S; Dawkins JIG; Zaghib K; Amine K; Xu GL; Deng S;

Recently, all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLIBs), which exhibit improved safety and enhanced energy density compared to conventional commercialized lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), thereby have garnered extensive research interest. Among the promising cathode candidates, Mn-based spinel cathodes LiMn2O4 (LMO) and LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO), with the uniq ...

Effects of cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia during sedative-hypnotics withdrawal on sleep and cognition in older adults

Author(s): Barbaux L; Cross NE; Perrault AA; Es-Sounni M; Desrosiers C; Clerc D; Andriamampionona F; Lussier D; Tannenbaum C; Guimond A; Grenier S; Gouin JP; Dang-Vu TT;

Objectives: Our objective was to assess the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi) on subjective and objective sleep quality (including sleep spindles) and cognition during a sedative-hypnotics withdrawal program in older adults with insomnia disorder.

Contrasting microbial assembly patterns in the woody endosphere of hybrid and non-hybrid em Populus /em trees

Author(s): Grant KR; Kembel SW; Naik S; Dayanandan S;

Endophytes asymptomatically infect virtually all plant species, yet little is known about endophyte community assembly and diversity within the woody tissues of forest trees. We utilised phylogenetic null models of alpha (ses.MNTDab and ses.MPDab) and beta diversity (ses.ßMNTDab and ses.ßMPDab) to infer the role of deterministic and stochastic ecological ...

Modeling the Ethylene Sequence Length Distribution of Metallocene-Catalyzed Bimodal Polyethylene

Author(s): Sattari M; Kwakye-Nimo S; Inn Y; Karimi PA; Wood-Adams PM;

The structure of bimodal poly-(ethylene-hexene) is presented in terms of the ethylene sequence length distribution. This distribution is determined by applying statistical modeling to molecular weight and short chain branching distributions obtained from gel permeation chromatography (GPC). We found that the ethylene sequence length distribution of bimoda ...

The Bug-Network (BugNet): A Global Experimental Network Testing the Effects of Invertebrate Herbivores and Fungal Pathogens on Plant Communities and Ecosystem Function in Open Ecosystems

Author(s): Kempel A; Adamidis GC; Anadón JD; Atkinson J; Auge H; Avtzis D; Bachelot B; Bashirzadeh M; Bota JL; Classen A; Constantinou I; Crawley M; de Bellis T; Dostal P; Ebeling A; Eisenhauer N; Eldridge DJ; Encina G; Estrada C; Everingham S; Fan ...

Plants are consumed by a variety of organisms, including herbivores and pathogens, which significantly impact plant biomass, diversity, community composition, and ecosystem functioning. While the impacts of vertebrate herbivores are well established, the effects of consumer groups such as insect ...

Toward a Sustainable Future: A Holistic Environmental, Social, and Economic Assessment of Industrial Recycling for All-Solid-State Batteries with Oxide-Based Electrolytes

Author(s): Wang Z; Tian X; Zhao S; Zhang P; An C;

The increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries has raised concerns about resource scarcity, battery accident risks, and end-of-life battery management. All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are emerging as a promising alternative due to their higher energy density and thermal stability. However, the large-scale production of ASSBs necessitates the developmen ...

Automated abdominal aortic calcification and trabecular bone score independently predict incident fracture during routine osteoporosis screening

Author(s): Gebre AK; Sim M; Gilani SZ; Saleem A; Smith C; Hans D; Reid S; Monchka BA; Kimelman D; Jozani MJ; Schousboe JT; Lewis JR; Leslie WD;

Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC), a marker of subclinical cardiovascular disease, has previously shown to be associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture. However, it remains unclear whether AAC is associated with trabecular bone score (TBS), a gray-level textural measure, or w ...

The Need for Health Systems to Engage With and Support Youth who are Caregivers-A Lived Experience Perspective From Young Carers

Author(s): Grant A; Goberdhan N; Mar K; Ramkishun A; Rahman S; Redublo T; Caven I; Okrainec K;

Caregivers under the age of 25, or young carers, lack significant recognition and support across sectors of education, employment, and healthcare. As young carer advisors on a prior research project exploring Canadian healthcare providers' awareness of young carers in their clinical practice, we were a part of an experience-based co-design process to ...
